The uprisings at Wounded Knee and Alcatraz, and the creation of La Huegla and La Raza Unida have all shown that the Chicano
and the Native American will no longer suffer under the oppression and exploitation of Anglo America, say the editors of this
volume. The fourteen manifestos and commentaries in this book provide a forceful rejection of the racist stereotypes perpetuated
in the past by Anglo citizens, social scientists, and policy makers, and lead the way in the struggle of Chicanos and Native
Americans for their rights. Actively committed to these movements, the contributors, many of whom are Chicanos or Native Americans,
examine diverse social, educational, and governmental problems that affect these minorities. The reveal a pattern of neglect,
deprivation, and federal paternalism that has created a volatile mood among Chicanos and Native Americans. As territorial
minorities, Chicanos and Native Americans do no fit the traditional "melting pot" formula, as do most other ethnic groups.
New solutions are necessary, say the editors. The contributors propose various educational and social programs which recognize
the needs and the cultural uniqueness of both Chicanos and Native Americans, all urgently needed to avoid the confrontations
and strife that the trail of broken treaties and the deaf ears of Washington have provoked in recent years -- Back cover

The authors present a historical overview of U.S. immigration, followed by an examination of the legislative and legal debates
waged over immigration and settlement policies today. The authors also discuss the relationship between minorities and immigrants.
They find that the public policy needs of immigrants are often confused with those of U.S.-born minorities. The book closes
with the question: If the nation understood the kinds of demands that immigrants legitimately make, would we change the contract
between the state and the immigrant?

For international migrants seeking employment in the United States, the desire to remit a portion of their earnings to their
home countries is a time-honoured custom. The flow of money southward from the USA has evolved from a stream flowing from
families through informal networks, to a major river with new tributaries fed by transnational migrant organizations, channelled
through an increasingly formal marketplace, and attracting the involvement of migrant-sending governments. This volume tracks
the evolution of the flow of money "home", offering data to enhance the picture and understanding of this important economic
phenomenon
